Americana Burlap Wreath

This weekend I found the cutest wreath tutorial while blog-stalking.
I was looking for a summer wreath and I think this one will take me from Memorial Weekend through Labor Day so I was pretty excited!
The tutorial can be found at
It was super easy. Only thing that was a pain was cutting out those circles.
Oh..and burlap is MESSY!
But in the end, I think it was worth it.
Here's how mine turned out:


In the picture it looks kinda small on the door but in real life it doesn't.
I used a 14 in wreath form.
I think it could use a big bow at the top or something to finish it off but for now,
at 10:15 pm, it's gonna have to work..
